9: Chapter 9 Trouble Comes

Qingyun Sect’s recruitment of disciples was in full swing, with more and more people coming after hearing the news.

Jiang Xiaobai only took half a day to recruit over five thousand people.

“No, at this rate, I probably won’t be able to recruit ten thousand people today.” Jiang Xiaobai sat there, stroking his chin in deep thought.

Behind him, people had already filled the area. They were all young, between eighteen and twenty years old.

Their expressions were excited, and their eyes were filled with fervor.

“Oh my god, I’ve wanted to join a Sect for a long time; it’s always been my dream. I can’t believe it’s coming true today.”

“Yes, me too. I only have a Medium Grade Spiritual Root, so most Sects wouldn’t accept me. I never expected Qingyun Sect to not only accept me but also give me one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones! That’s one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“Hehe, with these one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones and my High Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude, I’ll definitely thrive in Qingyun Sect.”

“This Qingyun Sect is truly a hidden Great Master Sect; it’s so wealthy.”

“What do you mean ‘this Qingyun Sect’? It’s ‘our Qingyun Sect’! You’ve all joined the Sect, yet you still don’t know this basic fact.” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly scolded.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately nodded in agreement:

“Senior Brother Jiang Xiaobai is right, ‘our Qingyun Sect’!”

“Right about what? Call me Little Martial Uncle. I dare let you call me Senior Brother, but do you dare to call me that?” Jiang Xiaobai scolded again. Everyone immediately realized their mistake.

“Yes, Little Martial Uncle Jiang Xiaobai.”

Seeing everyone speak in unison, Jiang Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction.

“Alright, listen up, everyone. Now, everyone, leave the city and head a hundred li east of Qingyun City. That’s where our Qingyun Sect is located.”

“Everyone, return to the Sect immediately. Do not be negligent. Those who disobey will be like him.”

Buzz!

Rumble.

A purple Lightning Tribulation suddenly struck Wang Dadan, who was standing nearby, making him smoke.

After seeing this scene, everyone gasped in cold air, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with awe.

“Yes, Little Martial Uncle Jiang Xiaobai.”

“Hurry up and go. Remember, once you reach Qingyun Sect, don’t enter the Sect yet, or don’t blame me for not warning you if you get eaten.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s words made everyone’s bodies tremble.

“You, give me the one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones first. I’ll return them to you when we get back to the Sect. I need to buy Materials for building the Sect now.”

“Yes, Little Martial Uncle.”

The thousands of people who had just joined Qingyun Sect were thus tricked by Jiang Xiaobai into returning to Qingyun Sect. Watching them walk towards the city gate, Jiang Xiaobai smirked and said:

“In this Immortal Realm, to become a prominent figure, drawing big pictures is the most basic skill.”

“You’re such a scoundrel! Why did you strike me again!?” Wang Dadan, completely blackened, with tattered clothes and exploded hair, glared at Jiang Xiaobai.

“As the Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect this generation, what’s wrong with doing more for the Sect? Is it necessary to be so calculative?”

“Yes! You try striking yourself.” Wang Dadan glared angrily at Jiang Xiaobai.

Helpless, Jiang Xiaobai once again drew a big picture for Wang Dadan:

“Alright, alright, look at your unpromising appearance. I’ll compensate you when we return to the Sect.”

“Really?” Wang Dadan was somewhat skeptical.

“Of course it’s real! When have I ever lied to you?”

“You lied to me twice today!”

“Who allowed you to establish a Sect and recruit disciples here? Disperse immediately, or you’ll bear the consequences.” A middle-aged man whose strength had reached the first stage of the Spirit Refining Realm appeared, leading dozens of Qi Refining Realm soldiers.

Upon seeing this, everyone present retreated.

“It’s someone from the City Lord’s Mansion. Isn’t that Commander Fang?”

“It’s over, I haven’t even joined Qingyun Sect yet, and these people from the City Lord’s Mansion have already appeared.”

“Stop talking nonsense, retreat quickly. I have a premonition that there will be a big battle soon.”

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, staring at the dozens of people in front of him. What he had been worried about had finally happened.

“Wang Dadan, you retreat behind me first…?” Jiang Xiaobai’s words were cut short as his gaze immediately fell on Wang Dadan, only to find that the guy had already retreated into the crowd, looking up at the sky, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched:

“This guy!”

“Are you the one establishing a Sect and recruiting disciples here?” Commander Fang suddenly stepped forward and questioned Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai carefully scrutinized Commander Fang for a long time, then replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

“It’s me!”

“Who allowed you to recruit disciples within Qingyun City?”

Jiang Xiaobai knew that today would probably not end easily. His eyes narrowed as he said:

“What’s it to you?!”

Buzz!

Jiang Xiaobai’s words exploded directly in everyone’s minds at the scene.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai with shocked and incredulous expressions.

“How bold! People really like someone so tough!”

“What’s the use of being tough? This young man is probably in trouble today.”

“Yes, the Qingyun City’s City Lord’s Mansion probably won’t let him off easily.”

After hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, Commander Fang’s face darkened, and Killing Intent leaked out:

“What did you say? Dare to say it again?”

“I’ll say it a thousand, a million times, it’s all the same. What’s it to you that my Qingyun Sect is establishing a Sect and recruiting disciples?” Jiang Xiaobai directly confronted him again. Everyone present, seeing Jiang Xiaobai not backing down in the slightest, held their breath and quietly watched him.

“Very good! This person has violated Qingyun City’s regulations by privately recruiting disciples, which has severely threatened Qingyun City’s safety.”

“Men, seize this person and bring him back to the City Lord’s Mansion for interrogation. I want to see who is so audacious as to openly defy the City Lord’s Mansion’s regulations.”

After Commander Fang finished speaking, the dozens of soldiers behind him immediately surrounded Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes narrowed:

“Are you sure you want to make a move? So many people are watching.”

“What are you still standing there for? Immediately apprehend this scoundrel.”

“Yes!”

Dozens of soldiers, armed with High Grade spears, rapidly charged towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say a word and immediately made his move.

He directly unleashed his full strength, and an incredibly powerful force emanated from him.

In an instant, he sent all dozens of soldiers flying, all of them falling to the ground, spitting blood, and seriously injured.

“Are you an idiot, to send a bunch of Qi Refining Realm cultivators to fight me, a Spirit Refining Realm cultivator?”

“Could it be that you intentionally sent them to their deaths? What are your intentions!?”

Suddenly questioned by Jiang Xiaobai like this, Commander Fang was stunned, his Killing Intent surging:

“Scoundrel, stop spouting nonsense, come and die!”

Clang!

Commander Fang directly drew the longsword in his hand and rapidly charged towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression was very calm. His Physical Body had already reached perfection.

Facing Commander Fang, who was in the same Realm as him, he felt no pressure at all.

He simply used his hand to throw a punch at Commander Fang.

Bang!

Boom!

Fast, steady, accurate, ruthless!

Pfft!

Jiang Xiaobai directly punched Commander Fang in the chest, sending him flying in an instant.

“You… you actually dared to fight back! You’re dead, the City Lord’s Mansion won’t let you off, and my uncle certainly won’t let you off. The entire Qingyun Sect can just wait to be annihilated by my uncle.”

“Idiot! Wang Dadan, drag him along, we’re going back to Qingyun Sect!”
